yeh but you will need to take it out of its housing and stick it towards the bottom of the tank, as the way it sits you won't get the last 2 gallons or so of gas from the bottom of the tank.
get you a 12V battery, get your some alligator clips (wires with clips on the ends) and connect to the battery + and - and hear her run!!! just DO NOT RUN IT DRY... you will burn up your fuel pump, also be careful about cavitation i believe it is where you are sucking fuel and it creates a air pocket because you are moving the fuel faster than it can get out of the tank

what died on you? if the pumps dead, then how r you going to get it to run. if you have everything where it was on the car, simply disconnect the fuel line right in front of the filter and run your two wires to your pump...id have to find the wiring diagram....srry
